My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 359 Friends of Zhang Jiao
Xinxiang, Zhurimen.

After the Emperor of Xia's ceremonial guard and all civil and military officials entered the city, the city gates were unlocked and people could now enter and leave the city at will. The war was no longer going on, so there was no need to leave the city to hide.

At the previously crowded city gate, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes and returned to their homes in the city with all their belongings. Most of the remaining businessmen were stranded businessmen who, after being interrogated by Xiliang soldiers, hurried out of the city to sell goods. There are also people who go out to cut firewood and search for some fruits in the mountains.

In the light rain, the Xiliang soldiers guarding the city released two merchant brigades. They seemed to see something. In the pattering green rain, an old man wearing a Taoist robe slowly came over, holding a fortune-telling flag. The flag was different from ordinary ones. Used white cloth.

"The monks in Qi State actually still use white flags..."

"Countries are different. Our national teacher Zhang Jiao also uses yellow flags."

"The yellow is so precious, how can the white flag compare?"

The Taoist priest in the rain came over holding flags and banners. The two Xiliang soldiers who were talking stopped talking and let him pass. They all knew that His Majesty liked Taoism, and there was always an old Taoist priest named Li with him.

The Taoist priest's beard and hair were all white, and he looked like a man with ulterior motives. Besides, they only checked the convoys and rarely checked people traveling alone. The military famine had just passed, so they couldn't check the road guides, so they simply left Let him enter the city.

The two soldiers checked a donkey cart again, and when they looked back, they saw that the old Taoist priest had already gone dozens of feet away.

"Walk so fast?"

In their doubtful voices, the old Taoist priest in front was wandering on the street holding a flag and banner. He saw that the street had not been damaged by the war. From time to time, there were government officials patrolling the streets, or reading the emperor's message to the people gathered at the entrance of the market. Announcement of abandoning the throne and annexing Qi State to Xia State.

After seeing and hearing all the way, the Taoist couldn't help but nodded appreciatively.

Soon, he walked straight to the Imperial City holding a white flag. He was stopped by the soldiers of the Imperial City. A school captain came over holding the hilt of a knife at his waist: "Master Taoist, it is forbidden to enter the Imperial City. You should go somewhere else." !”

"Haha, if you can send a message to your emperor, please ask Lu Zhiyuan of Fuyunshan to see you."

The Imperial City School Captain also laughed and waved to the old Taoist priest in front of him: "Taoist Master, the emperor doesn't just meet you on sight. You'd better go back."

"Excuse me, please tell me. Whether you see me or not is another matter."

Seeing that the old Taoist priest was laughing and refusing to leave, the captain originally wanted to drive him away, but seeing that the old Taoist priest was so old, he took a closer look and saw that the other Taoist priest's robe was not soaked by the rain, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Then someone informed the guard on the tower. The latter's name was Sun Zan, a surrendered general and Yang Qi's son-in-law. When he heard the words "Fuyun Mountain", he couldn't hide the surprised expression on his face and hurried down the tower. He ordered the school captain to go over and pay his respects, but when he arrived at the city gate, the old Taoist priest was no longer here.

When I asked the gatekeepers, they were also a little confused. They had just looked away and had no idea when the other party had disappeared.

"Hurry and inform His Majesty!"

Now that he surrendered to the Xia Kingdom, Sun Zan naturally wanted to call Su Chen his majesty. He sent the school captain to lead a few people into the palace quickly. No matter whether the Taoist priest's intention was good or bad, he had to let the emperor be on guard as soon as possible.

According to rumors, there is an old immortal in Fuyun Mountain who has magical powers, but I don't know if he is the old Taoist priest the captain mentioned just now.

There are five great masters in the world, but there is only one old immortal.

He suppressed his anxious mood and watched his captain leading a few soldiers to run away through the palace corridor. He was worried, "If they come here with malicious intentions, they will be in trouble."

Stretching along the long palace road, the main banquet at noon in the first golden palace was filled with the noise of people drinking and drinking.

Dong Zhuo laughed and walked back and forth between the generals' tables with a big belly and a wine glass.

"Having a banquet in the main hall of Qi State's early court, Your Majesty really understands the thoughts of the old minister, haha!"

The generals who were seated in the hall, the generals of the army, and even the middle-level generals were among them. This was an exception made by Su Chen. However, seeing that everyone was having a great time together, it was impossible to say that it would become the norm in the future. The middle-level officers of the army were , is the mainstay of a certain battalion, and Su Chen never skimps on the treatment he deserves.

And Chinese civil and military officials such as Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, etc. are all in the first row under the imperial rank, which is also the position that best shows their honor. They are followed by military lieutenant generals, and finally the civil and military officials of Qi State. Dozens of them were selected. Present on behalf of the rest, behind the pillars of the palace.

As generals and ministers, they naturally knew that they could not compare with the arrogant generals of the Xia Kingdom who followed the emperor to conquer the world. It was normal for them to be at the bottom, but they thought that in the future they would no longer have to use weapons or kill people, and they could compete with the Xia Kingdom. These famous generals dined together, and the atmosphere at the table couldn't help but make them a little high-spirited.

This is a completely different feeling from the suffocating feeling I felt a few days ago.

After entering the palace and having a banquet, Su Chen asked Wu Zixun to give a message to the generals of all armies. There was no need to pay too much attention to the rules. Today's celebration banquet only required large chunks of meat and big bowls of wine, and you could enjoy yourself as much as you wanted.

Most of the middle-level officers were rough-tempered. With His Majesty's approval, they were free to eat and drink. Apart from chatting and laughing loudly, a few of them took off their shirts and exposed their strong muscles. He wanted to perform a gladiatorial fight for Su Chen, and fight to the fiercest point, which attracted the belligerent generals Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Li Jue to cheer loudly.

Xiang Yu felt the atmosphere in the army and couldn't help but look at Su Chen on the imperial steps. He didn't expect that he could allow generals with different personalities to live in such harmony.

If it were him, he might not even be able to do it.

Thinking of his angry father and the many old brothers who left him, his face suddenly became sad.

Out of the corner of his eye, someone suddenly approached. Xiang Yu raised his gaze. Su Chen came to his desk with a smile and held up the wine glass in his hand.

"Why is King Xiang drinking alone?" Su Chen could guess what he was thinking, and then called out to Dong Zhuo, who was running around at each table, "Grand Master, why don't you drink with King Xiang? But you look down on him. King Xiang?"

Dong Zhuo, who was drinking with Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu, turned around and said, "Huh?"

He quickly wiped the wine hanging from his beard, refilled the glass, and brought it over with the flask.Xiang Yu laughed at Su Chen's words, stood up, held wine in both hands, and clinked the rims of the glasses with Dong Zhuo and Su Chen.

After finishing the drink, Xiang Yu thanked Dong Zhuo for urging him to drink. He looked at Su Chen and said, "Your Majesty, when will I be appointed as an official?"

He didn't care about official position. He asked like this because he naturally wanted to bring Yu Ji into this world.

"It's definitely not possible right now. After the Western Front is finished and the Liang Kingdom is taken care of, after our troops return to the court, all the generals will discuss their merits and reward them together." Su Chen knew that he was anxious, so he poured him another glass of wine with his own hands, "Xiang Don't be impatient, the matter will happen sooner or later. Let's experience this world more now, and when Yu Ji comes, or King Xiang's old brothers come, I can talk to them."

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and naturally the middle-level officers and Qi State Civil and Military Officers behind them couldn't hear the two people talking.

But the nearest Chinese civil and military officials could hear clearly. Lu Bu was in the next seat. He stood up and came over: "King Xiang, please don't think that you are alone. Do you think anyone around you came to this world alone?"

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "There are still people who have deep hatred."

Deep hatred?

Xiang Yu asked curiously: "Who?"

Here Dong Zhuo pointed at himself, and then at Lu Bu next to him: "I was killed by him. The halberd was so long at that time, and he thrust it in, and the intestines that I stabbed came out!"

"...What did the grand master do? I don't know what he did?" Lu Bu made a 'che' sound.

"You also did what I did. You killed me not because of Prince Master's plan to divorce, for a woman..." Dong Zhuo also got angry when he said this, and stamped his feet: "At first you were a horse, but later And because of Diao Chan... If I had known, I wouldn't have touched her."

Li Ru came up and whispered: "Grand Master, Ru advised you."

"Have it?"

Dong Zhuo blinked his eyes, coughed twice, pretended to be confused while holding the wine glass, turned around and walked away: "I may have been drinking at the time and didn't listen..."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately understood why Lu Bu didn't want to mention Diao Chan.

However, I thought that the two of them had such a huge hatred, and now they were getting along like two children, using their hatred as a way to laugh and scold each other.

While everyone was joking and drinking, Su Chen pulled Xiang Yu and said some more words. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall. The voice was obviously old, but it sounded clear and upright to everyone's ears.

"Lu Zhiyuan of Fuyunshan has come to pay homage to the Emperor of Xia. I wonder if I can come in and ask for a drink?"

The noise in the hall was instantly suppressed by this sound. Everyone immediately stopped talking and turned their heads to look at the hall with the drinks in their hands.

Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Xiang Yu dragged their tall and mighty bodies, stood up slowly, and narrowed their eyes.

The dozens of civil and military officials from Qi State looked at each other, not knowing who it was that was so rampant. Among them, Yang Qi muttered the words "Floating Cloud Mountain", his face suddenly showed a look of shock, and he quickly stood up and walked out of his seat.

"Your Majesty, you are the old immortal from Fuyun Mountain in Liang Kingdom!"

Su Chen frowned, Fuyun Mountain?

He had heard Zhang Jue talk about going to Liang to visit a cultivator of immortality before, but he never thought that he would not hear anything from him for two years. He wrote to Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, but even he did not know the whereabouts of his brother.

"I'm a visitor from afar. If the Immortal Master wants to ask for a drink, you can come in!"

Su Chen walked back to the imperial steps and pressed one hand on the golden eagle guardrail on the side of the imperial steps. All the generals in the army also came together. They all wore armor and entered the palace for a banquet. When they stood up, they were singing and dancing just now. The main hall was instantly filled with the aura of fighting and fighting.

Looking at the palace gate with intertwined eyes, an old man wearing a Taoist robe slowly walked up the stone steps outside with his hands behind his back. Behind him was the city gate captain who came to report the news. The moment he saw the old man, he collapsed in shock. On the ground, he rolled and crawled around the opponent and rushed to the palace gate.

"Your Majesty... that's him... he said to meet Your Majesty at the gate of the Imperial City, and in the blink of an eye, he was here."

"Ha ha!"

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled, then walked straight across the threshold of the palace gate, turning a blind eye to the generals looking from both sides, and just bowed casually.

"Emperor Xia, I am a friend of Zhang Jiao. I wonder if I can have a seat?"
